極經由側壁介電層移出至由複晶矽層所形成的選擇閘極。 由於熱電子在通道内的電場運動係藉由散射作用而注入懸 浮閘極,因此需施加足夠大的電壓及配合散射作用才能將 電子注入懸浮閘達成資料寫入。在根據本發明之方法形成 的分閘式快閃記憶胞結構中,其選擇閘極係形成於基材溝 渠側壁上,縮小了選擇閘極的橫向尺寸並同時保留相同的 通道長度,因此在施加適當的電壓於汲極、源極及選擇閘 以進行資料寫入時,熱電子係沿著基材溝渠側壁通道直接 注入至懸浮閘極中,如第6圖中之箭號方向所示。此種熱 電子直接由汲極/源極衝注至懸浮閘極的方式稱為彈道 (B a 11 i s t i c)熱電子注入,其寫入效率係較傳統藉由散射作用 注入熱電子的方式佳,且可降低施加於汲極、源極及選擇 閘之間的電壓。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 綜上所述,本發明係揭露一種分閘式快閃記憶胞結構

Description of the invention () Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and manufacturing process, and particularly to a method for manufacturing a gate of a selective flash memory cell of a sPllt-§ate flash memory cell. Background of the invention: The data storage media in a typical computer can be roughly divided into two types: volatile (Volatile) memory and non-volatile (Nonv0Utile) memory. Volatile memory includes dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and static random access memory (SRAM). The stored data will disappear due to power interruption, so it is mainly used for temporary data access. The non-volatile memory can still maintain the stored data even after the power is turned off, so it can be used for data storage in various occasions. Non-volatile memory can be further divided into: • Mask ROM (Mask ROM), EPROM (Erasable Read Only Memory), and Erasable Electronic Readable Memory (EEpR). M) and Flash EEPROM. Since 25 6K flash memory appeared in 1987, flash memory has gradually become the mainstream of the development of non-volatile memory. The flash memory is developed to combine the advantages of EPROM and EEPROM. The 己 memory body 'has non-volatile, repeatable read and write, high density and durability.

Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Typically, the flash memory Data is written by applying an appropriate voltage between the ytterbium, the source, and the polycrystalline silicon layer (selective gate) to inject electrons into the floating gate formed by the polycrystalline silicon layer. Under the action of a strong electric field, the hot electrons collide with silicon atoms and scatter, and then pass through the gate oxide layer and enter the suspended gate. Data erasure of the memory cell is performed by changing the voltage between the drain, source, and the polycrystalline silicon layer (selective gate) to remove electrons from the floating gate through the sidewall dielectric layer to the polycrystalline silicon layer. Selection gate. Since the electric field motion of the hot electrons in the channel is injected into the floating gate electrode by scattering, a sufficient voltage must be applied and the scattering effect must be applied to inject electrons into the floating gate to write data. In the split-type flash memory cell structure formed according to the method of the present invention, the selection gate is formed on the side wall of the substrate trench, which reduces the lateral size of the selection gate while retaining the same channel length. When the appropriate voltage is applied to the drain, source, and selection gates for data writing, the hot electrons are directly injected into the suspended gates along the side channel of the substrate trench, as shown by the arrow direction in FIG. 6. This method of injecting hot electrons directly from the drain / source to the suspension gate is called ballistic (B a 11istic) hot electron injection, and its writing efficiency is better than the traditional method of injecting hot electrons by scattering. And can reduce the voltage applied between the drain, source and selection gate.
